Baseband is the modem/radio.

They just call it like that, not a clue why. Don't think there is a difference.

Another question to this strange phone difference. Why is the recovery on the samsung phones in the kernel? I thought that would be something like a different partition.

---------- Post added at 09:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:31 PM ----------

I recommed that you perform a backup before you flash the theme. It's a little bit *****y sometimes so maybe it doesn't work with some tweaks altough it should.

Wiping cache and dalvik doesn't harm so why not.

Ah by the way it takes quite a while to flash so don't worry.

Hm i flashed the KI3 from samfirmware.com (3-way with .pit). then i set the CSC to XEU and made a full hard reset.

after that i flashed the CWM-Kernel for KI3. and then i flashed VR 3.0 with CWM.

but it stucks at the first screen (black background with the yellow logo). i don't even come to the boot-screen.

i verified the VR 3.0 zip with MD5 Check. everything is fine.

what i'm doing wrong???

Are you connecting to the same ssid? Most companies have a visitor network and a corporate network.

If you connect to the same corporate network, check if you have the same certificates on your phones. Certificates will act as your credentials in some configurations.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jhernand1102:
Boot into CWM and wipe data. It should boot after that.

Thank you Pulser but I have a problem with talk, i haven't a video.

Is it normal ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kaynow:
that's the problem. I did not get into the CWM. i had to reflash the CWM Kernel and than i come in and did a full wipe. no it works :confused:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Nebucatnetzer:
Hm do you know where I can find the certificates?

The WIFI is for sure the same because it's the only "open" one.

The others are for printing and VOIP.

May I have to talk to the IT trainee that he gives me the IP which goes directly out not through the firewall but that's a bit risky because it's against the company rules.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] wanzer:
I’m sorry if I bump this, but I need to know before flashing.

I’m gonna change from VR2.5 for just one reason: with tweaks for Advanced Power Menu installed, when I long-press the power button the phone restarts (oh, the rom does, because I don’t see the boot and I don’t have to enter again my PIN).

VR3 BEST OF THE BEST
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
At least it rules that out then for you. Can't remember but was it you that said it works with Ninpo 2.0.5 and netchip but not with Lulz? If that's the case then it's a kernel issue and not ROM, maybe that kernel doesn't like something in 2.3.5? Pulsar doesn't tend to change stock functions and as has been said by another user it's not just affecting this ROM it's affecting others aswell so maybe a combination of 2.3.5 and kernel issue.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rufolo:
Hello everyone i come from another ROM so let em ask or say some questions:

i'll instal with wipe, first i'll install XXKI3 Stock Kernel, then...ninphetamine? i don't know the order. But i think best modem, as i read, is KG2, u agree?

nevertheless i install this stock kernel, then ninphe, and after all this the ROM. Once i install this rom then...i have to install the TWEAKS? i am a bit :confused: about this, but is there anything like jkay in this rom?

thx a lot and sorry for the questions if u think are :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] deeman:
Flashed to v3 from sensation ROM wiped/factory reset etc. installed the home button lag fix, but the home menu still seems slow when scrolling is this normal for this rom?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Nebucatnetzer:
They grate thing here is you don't have to do any of these.

1. You don't have to wipe but it would be smart especially when you have FCs. :D

2. Ninphetamine is included.

3. Use the modem you like if you like your current one stay with it. The ROM doesn't change the modem.

4. If you want to access some nice and usefull tweaks install the Tweak app.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
You don't need to flash a stock kernel before you flash this ROM just do the following:

1) Boot into CWM Recovery, wipe data/cache/dalvik, flash ROM and reboot phone for the first time as it is to ensure it boots fine.

2) Choose whichever modem you feel is best for you then use CWM or ODIN to flash this and you're done.

If you install VRTweaks it's just a more convenient way to install tweaks but you don't have to unless you want to. Otherwise you can just find the tweaks you want from the forums and install. JKay's mods weren't updated last time I checked but that was yesterday so if they have been updated for KI3 then they may work.

Damn my typing is too slow, beaten by Nebucatnetzer lol
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jobias:
So far 11 hours 30 mins standby, and screen on for about 2 hours 10 mins. Now I'm down to 58%. I'm perfectly fine with that! Thanks pulser!

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mynamesteve:
Amen..........
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kaynow:
there is definitely something wrong. i tried to flash an other kernel and get the same problem. stucks at the screen with the yellow sign.

don't know what's wrong. will wait until someone has an solution.

again. what i did:

flashed 3way (with .pit) KI3 from samfirmware.com

did a full factory reset

flashed CWM for KI3

(CSC is DBT)

go into CWM

wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik

install VR 3.0 (i already downloaded the file again - md5 check is fine)

reboot (over CWM).

and there we are. problem, described above.

than i flash CWM KI3 Kernel with ODIN. Go into CWM and did a WIPE. so, now it works. phone is booting.

after that i tried to flash the netchip kernel and again, same problem. stucks at this stupid screen.

what the hell!?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Nebucatnetzer:
What happens when you flash directly Nimphetamine on the Stock ROM and afterwards you flash Villain ROM?

Do you have a Nandroid from another custom ROM? Maybe it works if you flash it from there.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] douglatins:
Well is it beta or is it not?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
Just a suggestion, can you try flash an older 2.3.4 based ROM from intratech's thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 or the KI3 version with old bootloader from there then flash CFRoot kernel to get CWM.

Once you have CWM Recovery, do all the wipes data/cache/dalvik and flash VR3.0. This will rule out the issue being the new bootloader which it probably isn't but nice not to have the new restrictions they've put it place.

---------- Post added at 10:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:15 PM ----------

If you've read the thread, which I'm guessing you haven't as you've asked, you would know it's not. The beta tag was left in the filename but explained numerous times over the past 10 pages that it is not a beta and there won't be a final version released.

VR3 is now a "proper" release, in as much as any custom ROM is.

But if you're seriously worried about that, remember that EVERYTHING on XDA is beta :) You never know when your cat will be electrocuted by something playing up...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Indeed :) Any help answering questions here is (probably moreso) appreciated :) It's about helping people learn more, until they can help out by answering questions.

That's how we all got here, and it's your "duty" to make sure you pass on the info to others, so future users are not stuck with stock ROMs in future...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kaynow:
CWM-Kernel -> ninph 2.05 -> VR 3.0? i could try.

i will flash this and try your way. that should be the KI3 with old bootloader, according to intratech's thread:

ok i have an old KH3 3-way ROM here. i will flash that. and after that the KI3 from intratech with old bootloader, an than VR 3.0. i will report, when i'm done.

im sure this has been asked already, but i dont have time to scroll through 65+ pages to find it:

Why the use of Ninphetamine kernel 2.0.5 rather than the newest 2.1.3 ??? for Villain 3.0 ???
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kaynow:
it works! :)

1) flashed 3-way KH3 (samfirmware)

2) flashed intratech's 1-way KI3 with old bootloader

3) flashed CWM Kernel for KI3

4) flashed VR 3.0 (first boot and everything's fine)

5) flashed Multi-CSC from the 3-way KI3 (-> samfirmware) as PDA with ODIN (to get QWERTZ keyboard and Multi-CSC)

6) set CSC to DBT

7) flashed CWM KI3 again (to get CWM App and superuser)

8) flashed netchips Kernel v7 with CWM APP

so far, so great! everything works fine. no problems :D

thank you for your help and well i guess

the problem was indeed the new bootloader

. strange :eek:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AMDPOWERFIST:
Hmmm weird,

2.0.5 gave me decent battery life, but 2.1.3 + VR 2.5 has given me the best battery life + speed combo ive ever had, and ive tried a fair few roms / kernel combos, including all of the VR series...

No problem,

I was just wondering if there was a functional purpose for the back-track to 2.0.5 (like 2.1.3 had issues with 3.0 or something, that made it have errors or something)

If theres no problems with 2.1.3 funtion wise, then ill update to that upon updating from 2.5 to 3.0

3. Reboot. Changes won't show up until reboot.

Wiped data, wiped cache, wiped dalvik cache, flashed VR 3.0. (I was coming from VR 2.5)

When I was restoring all apps & system data using Titanium Backup, the screen went off due to inactivity, then I pressed Home button, but instead of waking up, the phone simply restarted and after the boot finished all I could find was empty screen with no icons at all besides Home/Applications icons (there was nothing inside both),

I started all over again and ended up the same.

Am I doomed? any clue?
